I love love love grandes exitos, but I have always felt like west coast calamaties should be on there too.... I have also recently discovered that I like the version of Can't Hear My Eyes that is on there much better than the version that is on Before Today...just my opinion, of course! and I would totally add the LIST too!!

hey batmania - I saw that Ariel is coming your way (maybe - since I don't my austrailian geography very well) next year...will you be able to attend? I sure hope sure!!

I sure hope so! I don't live in one of the major cities, but I'll try to make the effort to see them next year. Last time I managed to see AP at a festival, which was still pretty good, though they only played new material. I missed out when he played at my uni

Not sure about She's Gone, but...

Spires in the Snow was on Underground (I think?). Evolution's a Lie and Can't Hear My Eyes were released on the Can't Hear My Eyes 7" single a few years ago, and were both re-recorded for Before Today. There is actually a third version of Eyes out there. When I ordered the Cooler Cat 7" the band sent me a CD of rarities, which included the first recording of it, as well as an alternate take of She's Gone.

Ah you're right, not sure how I missed Spires In the Snow. And I never paid attention to the release date of the Can't Hear My Eyes single, I had always assumed it was the new versions. Interesting about Shes Gone...
